The TechBash CLI is a GitHub Copilot CLI skill that connects your local project to the TechBash 2026 session catalog. Use it from your terminal to discover sessions, look up speakers, plan your schedule, take notes during the event, and draft a trip report afterward.

You ask Copilot CLI a question in plain English while sitting in any project directory. The skill recognizes TechBash-related questions, fetches the live Sessionize catalog for TechBash 2026, optionally scans your dependency files (package.json, *.csproj, requirements.txt, etc.), and returns answers — recommended sessions, speaker bios, workshop lineups, agenda exports, notes appended to a local file. No API keys. No data leaves your machine other than the public Sessionize API calls.
- It will not register, transfer, or refund tickets — those go through the TechBash 2026 event page on Zoho Backstage.
- It will not invent session IDs, speakers, times, or rooms. If something isn't published yet (the schedule, for example), it tells you.
- It is not the official TechBash event app — it's a developer-first companion.
